Philippians 2:15
Philippians 2:15
That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation.
In the midst of a crooked and perverse world, believers are called to be blameless and harmless, reflecting the character of God in their lives. This verse reminds us that temptation is ever-present in a fallen world, but we are called to endure and remain pure. As God's children, we must resist the pressures of the world and live lives that are above reproach. It is not always easy to stand firm in the face of temptation, but God provides the strength to endure. Our testimony in the world should be one of integrity, purity, and holiness. In a world that celebrates sin and corruption, we are to shine as lights, demonstrating the righteousness of God through our lives. By enduring temptation with grace and strength, we bring honor to God and serve as witnesses to His power to keep us blameless.

Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.

The LORD knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations.
